Penelope Tree – ‘The Scenes You Create’

‘The Scenes You Create’ is the first EP from Penelope Tree since they formed in late 2015 and what a release it is. Plenty of bands find themselves held back by debuts that suffer from the poor execution of good ideas but not these guys as they firmly mark themselves

Makari – ‘Elegies’

As far as influences go, choosing Circa Survive is a solid move and Florida’s Makari manage a convincing replication of the genre-giants’ ambient, atmospheric alt-rock on their debut EP. ‘Elegies’ provides a strong introduction to the band, but they still have a way to go before they’ll

FALLS – ‘Cream’

By the end of 2016 Falls will have released two EPs, completed multiple tours and spread the righteous word of their funky rhythms right cross the UK. But the question is, could their second EP of the year stack up to the whimsical rowdiness of ‘One Hundred Percent Strong’? Out

Diamond Days – ‘The Death Of Us’

Sometimes all you want is an EP. An explosion of energy that’s short enough to listen to once or twice on the commute to work, a great EP can brighten up the dullest moments and transform the banal and ordinary in to an inspiring or interesting experience. Diamond Days,

Woes – ‘Woes’

It is a truth universally acknowledged that 2016 has been shit. Why? We needn’t provide a list of examples. It’s about time then – deep in the depths of November – that something came along to cheer us up. Woe’s debut EP (called ‘Woes’, funnily enough) has done just

Up River – ‘If There Is A God That Is Judging Me Constantly’

It’s been two years since Brighton’s Up River last released a record and it’s evident that the time away from the limelight hasn’t been in vain. This year sees the band return with their most aggressive and furious release to date, ‘If There Is A God That Is Judging

Losing Ground – ‘Old Glory’

Losing Ground pack a lot into four short tracks. The Kilmarnock foursome’s new EP ‘Old Glory’ embraces elements of punk, folk and melodic pop rock to an intriguing end. ‘Fundamental’ begins with simple rock guitars, before bursting into life with twinkling notes layered over the top. They’re not overtly pushy

Shit Present – ‘Misery + Disaster’

Shit Present’s second EP is another blisteringly honest release from the DIY, punk rock supergroup. More introspective and downbeat than their self-titled debut, ‘Misery + Disaster’ uses its pop influences to drag itself above the quagmire of depression and make something positive from the murkiness of mental health.

Sløtface – ‘Empire Records’

‘Empire Records’ is the new release from Norwegian punk rock four-piece Sløtface – and it shows their creativity flourishing. Littered with nostalgic pop-culture references from ’90s flick Empire Records to Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity, the EP acts as a vivacious ode to record shops and celebrates music as a form
